Reddit's Favourite Taco Bell Item vs What the Data Says

Reddit's favourite Taco Bell item is the Quesarito. Sporked's roundup of the r/tacobell vote puts it on top, with the Cheesy Gordita Crunch, the Chili Cheese Burrito and the Crunchwrap Supreme as the still-available chart-toppers Reddit named. The data agrees with the ranking — and then ruins the victory lap, because the winner is not on the menu. Here are the four favourites, with the dataset's own rows.

The winner is not on the menu

The Quesarito — a burrito wrapped in a whole cheese quesadilla, 570 calories and 26g of protein on its published panel — tops the fan vote and keeps being removed and returned. It has no sampled price in our dataset, because it is not on the menu boards the listings sample: it rotates on and off the official menu and the app, and its last long run was app-only. A favourite that cannot be ordered is a different kind of favourite, and the Quesarito DIY build exists for exactly that reason — a Cheese Quesadilla as the wrap, a burrito as the filling, about $7.98 at sampled prices for the two items combined.

Of the three you can actually order

The Chili Cheese Burrito is the data's pick of the available three: $3.29 sampled, 380 calories, 15g of protein, and 4.6g of protein per dollar — the best protein-per-dollar of any item Reddit named, and the cheapest of the three by $2.45. The Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the crowd's second favourite and the middle of the table: $5.74, 490 calories, 20g of protein, 3.5g per dollar — the most protein of the three, at the middle price. The Crunchwrap Supreme is the most expensive way to eat Reddit's list: $6.69, 530 calories, 15g of protein, 2.2g per dollar — the lowest protein-per-dollar of the four, and the only one of the three that costs more than $6.

What the data says about the vote

Reddit votes for the items it remembers, and the items it remembers are the ones that left: the Quesarito's removals are part of its legend, which is why it tops a vote its own menu cannot settle. The items that never left — the Gordita Crunch, the Chili Cheese Burrito, the Crunchwrap — win on availability and lose on romance. If you want the fan favourite as an order rather than a memory, the Chili Cheese Burrito is the cheapest way in and the best protein-per-dollar of the set; if you want the winner, build it yourself from the secret-menu page.

About this guide's data

Every figure in this guide comes from one dataset: sampled Taco Bell prices and published nutrition, compiled and verified in October 2026 (prices are re-checked monthly, and every data page carries its verification stamp). Rankings state their rule in the open and are computed from those rows — never voted on, never estimated. Where a value is missing it is shown as missing, and each named item links to its own page, where the full label, allergen record and sampled price range can be checked. Prices vary by location; nutrition values are the published figures for the standard build.
